breaking
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, participle; nominative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle nominative masculine plural denotes ongoing action performed by a group: "breaking." This preserves the core root sense of κλα- (to break or snap) without importing specific contextual objects such as bread. |
